Conquer, rule and manipulate the Roman Empire with the ultimate goal of being declared as the "Imperator" of Rome. Set in a time when the mighty Roman Empire emerged to conquer the known world against powerful enemies, when gladiators fought to a bloody death in the Coliseum; when Spartacus defied the might of the empire; when Hannibal led his invincible army and his war elephants across the Alps to strike fear into the very heart of Rome itself; and when Julius Caesar finally smashed the Barbarian Gauls. This was a time of brutal confrontation between civilisation and barbarism, and of civil war as the ancient world's only superpower turned on itself.

Return of Atlantis is a modification for Rome: Total War 1.5 which adds a vanilla-esque faction of Atlantis to the game. Little to nothing else about the original game has been changed, thus preserving the classic experience that is Rome: Total War.

Rumours come with the wind from the west. Whispers of a growing power. It was far too long ago that the city of Atlantis had been seemingly lost to memory, now only a legend - a myth.

But little do the peoples of the world know, that just beyond the horizon, Atlantis has been rebuilding, becoming more powerful than ever before. In secret the Atlanteans had been studying the great powers of this time; taking close note of their military tactics and technologies, whilst developing some new tricks of their own.

The time has come to strike. To reclaim the Empire that was lost - and more. The time has come for the return of Atlantis!

Atlantean roster:

Island of Atlantis:

New unit Katapeltes:

New unit Fire Siphon:

This game is modfoldered so no need to worry about overwriting your other stuff.

Installation instructions:

Step 1

To install the mod, you first need to unzip the file and place the atlantis folder directly inside your Rome - Total War folder.

Step 2 ------------------------------------

- Make a copy of your Rome - Total War shortcut - Right-click on it - Select "Properties" - At the end of the box that says "path" or "target", type -mod:atlantis - This should go after the quotes in that box with a space, like so: ...\RomeTW.exe" -mod:atlantis

You should now be able to double-click the shortcut and run the game.

Note: Whilst doing this you can also use the "Change Icon" button, navigate to your atlantis folder, and change from the standard RTW icon to the new one provided!

Windows XP it should usually be C:Program Files/Steam/steamapps/common/Rome Total War Gold Windows Vista & 7 it should usually be C:/Program Files(x86 or x64)/Steam/steamapps/common/Rome Total War Gold

Then to play the mod from the Steam Library: Right click on RTW in the steam library. Click 'Properties' Click 'Set Launch Options...' type into the box '-mod:atlantis'

And then run RTW. To run regular RTW again delete the '-mod:atlantis' command again.

Enjoy! :)

Anybody having the issue - I fixed it. Replace the Atlantis version of the descr_names file with the one from the original Rome Total War. Open it. Go to the Numidian section. Remove all original numidian names. Go up to the greek_cities section. Copy male and female names (without the "of Athens," "of Sparta" modifiers) and paste them into the Numidian section. Save. Replace the Atlantis version of the names.txt file with the one from the original Rome Total War. If done correctly without any messiness, the game should be able to save. Cheers.

Okay, so I downloaded this mod, but when I went use a fire siphon in a custom battle, it told me it was a siege tower and wouldn't let me attack. Does it work in the campaign, or should I save my money and get archers or katapelts?

I have a problem with the install. I install the folder, move it to the Steam/steamapps/common/Rome Total War folder. I then go to Steam, change the Launch Instruction to -mod:atlantis. Launch the game, and Atlantis is not there. Do I need to "unlock" them by winning as Rome, or did something go wrong in the install?
